Craigslist Confidential: Staying Safe in the Digital Marketplace
To safely buy items on Craigslist, meet in a public, well-lit place like a coffee shop or even a police station’s SafeTrade location. Always bring a friend or let someone know your plans, and only use cash, avoiding online payments. Get a detailed receipt and inspect the item before purchase. Protect your personal information by using a proxy email or temporary phone number, and trust your instincts – if something feels off, walk away.
